SENATOR CocKRELL's suggestion that
the Government destroy the old and
useless papers that are accumulat'ng
in such vast numbers upon the files of
its various dlsbursing officers is Il good
one. Accounts that have been passed
upon and settled, and that really form
no essential part of The public archives,
are not worth preserving, The books
of the Treasury are record enough Of
its disbursements. But great dlscrlmi-
nation will be required in the selection
OF documents TO be disposed Of in order
TO avoid the loss of anything that pos
sesses historic or statistical value; and
we would suggest Mr.. Cockrell himself
as the man of all others for Chairman

THE latest advices from the bedside
Of Secretary Whitney represent this
distinguished official as indulglng in
daily horseback rides and blessed with
his normal appetite for good dinners.
There are doubling Thomases here
abouts who more than intimate that the
Secretary has not been sick at all.
Some of them boldly assert that while
the country at large was metaphorlcally
bending over his PROSTATE form and
sympathizing with him as another
victim Of cerebral overwork and ex-
haustion, he was really engaged, with
all his old-time might, in whooplng up
the boys for the Democratic State and
county ticket. However this may be,
there ia cumulative testimony In
abundance to show that he Is feeling
much better since the election.

The people of Colorado became very
enthusiastic over the famous caricaturist.
A few more than 1000 people greeted
him upon his opening night at the Tabor
Grand. The Denver Republican devoted
four columns to a review of his lecture,
interspersing the article with illustrations
of the artists work. He completed a
magnificent oil painting of the famous
Mount of the Holy Cross in exactly two
minutes. Mast, who is but AZ years of
age, is one of the best known Americans
of the day. His political caricatures have
welded remarkable influence during cam
paigns, a striking picture often having
more effect than dozens of columns of the
most brilliantly written editorials. Some
artists appeal to the instincts of men with
their brushes, but Mast convinces all with
his pencil.

Il tell you they gamble high in Ari-
zona,' said a travel-stained individual
who was eating cloves in a Cheyenne sa-
loon Yesterday. "One night in Tucson
the city marshal and an army officer were
playing a quiet game of draw. Both were
high rollers, and an interested crowd OF
spectators surrounded the table. Pretty
soon a heavy play came up, and in a few
minutes there was 10000 in the pot.
The city marshal, whom we afterward
learned was blufing, bet $50, 900. The
shoulder strap man studied awhile, called
him and won the lucre. That was moth
ing, though" continued the stranger.
"One day two stockmen-"
What was currency in Arizona when
you left /"
"Gold-nothing but the yellow truck"
responded the u~nsuspecting liar.
Well" continued the querist il a dry
vein, IF you'll explain how that city
marshal and army officer carried that
$4,000 In gold about their persons we
may believe your Arizona yarn"

self to another Glove and was soon relating
Canada experiences in an adjoining re-
freshment store.

About two weeks ago Frank Boehme,

to purchase stock for his 10th stree estab-

young gentleman intended to contract a
matrimonial alliance during his absence.
Last evening Ed. j. Towslee. bosom
friend of the cigar maker received a letter
from MIR. Eoehme announcing that the
writer and Mss Annie Foster had been
happily united at the residence of the

previous Sunday evening. Towslee has
already commenced making arrangement
to receive the groom and bride upon

A gang Of dangerous tramps infests
the city at present. They are professional
beggars who will not hesitate to commit
petty crimes. Lacking the nerve to be-
come thieves and robbers, they plumber
tie defenseless and steal small articles.
Yesterday afternoon one of these
travelling toughs visited the resi-
dence of Mr.. Remus on the South Side
while that gentleman was absent. The
intruder by threats compelled Mrs. Re-
mus to prepare a meal, which he ate leis-
urelY, apparently aware that he would not
be disturbed.
Last evening little Mary Rahlsen, whose
parents reside near the old electric light
house was sent to the city to make a few
triting purchases. When near the steam
laundry she was approached by a villain
who suatched from her hands a purse
containing 50. 20 and ran.

The pastors of the various city churches
and others interested in the holy cause,
have concluded that the time is ripe for
the inauguration of a series of reeival
meetings on a large scale.
The campaign will be opened at Y. M.
U. A. hall next Sunday evening by the
holding of a mammoth union meeting.
Upon this occasion Rev. Mr.. Field, of
the Presbyterian church, will deliver the
sermon. Monday night Rev. Mr.. RAIDER
will lead. Tuesday Rev. DR.. Williams, and
so on-a different divine officiating each
evening. 1t is hoped that these meetings
will be productive of mich good, return
ing wanderers to the fold and uniting
fresh converts to the church.

THE FOURTH NATIONAL
Cheyenne and Denver Men to Start
a New Bank.
The Institution TO Occupy Quarters
In the Post Block.
Omaha and New York Parties In
terested in the Concern.

Ever since the suspension of Nj. E..
Post 4 Cos banking house last month, it
has been declared from time to time by
interested parties that a national bank
would be ready for the transaction of
business in the quarters recently occupied
by the defunct establishment, before cal
endars for 1883 became useful articles of
office furniture. The rumors are about to
be realized. The syndicate which is to
control the affairs of the new banking
establishment have been comforting in
this city for several days. and will soon
perfect organization so far that they can
apply to the comptroller for a charter un-
der which to conduct business.
d. Sheedy, of the Colorado National
Bank. the wealthiest financial institution
in the Centennial state, is one of the lead
ing spirits. Another Denver capitalist is
also interested. These two gentlemen are
members of the syndicate which sometime
since secured codtrol of the business once
owned by Kountze Bros, the wealthy
New York bankers. This association
conducts business in Denver, Omaha and
New York. They control an immense
amount of capital.
1t is said that ex. Governor Warren. A.
j. Parshall and M. f. Post will also be in
terested in the new bank. Ex-Governor
Warren is East at the present and it is re
ported that he will arrange for correspon-
dents for the Cheyenne institution while
absent.
Anent the estal lishment of a fourth
bank, it is certain that the affairs of Posts
bank will 500 be adjusted in such a
manner that no one will have cause for
complaint. No later than yesterday sew
eral depositors were assured by persons in
a position to speak intelligently and au-
thoritatlvely, that creditors would be paid
dollar for dollar in a short time.
